Congratulations to Aditi Prabhala for being selected as a 2024 Husky 100 member!

The Husky 100 list recognizes undergraduate and graduate students who make the most of their time at UW.

To date, Aditi’s molecular dynamics research has focused on the pre-powerstroke state of myosin (green) with the essential light chain (blue), shown here. The R369Q mutation is highlighted in magenta.

Aditi is an undergraduate student in the HAMM Lab mentored by PhD student, Kerry Kao. Aditi is researching the dilated cardiomyopathy-associated myosin mutation R369Q. In her broader work, she is integrating molecular dynamics with a human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocyte model to better understand how the mutation contributes to disease pathogenesis. Currently, she is focused on using computational approaches to redesign the heart failure therapeutic omecamtiv mecarbil for her senior capstone project.
